La Hacienda

I’ve eaten at this particular La-​Ha location only twice, most recently for lunch over the past weekend. I can say this, the prices are low, the service is on point for the most part, and the food comes out hot.
For my part, I ordered the chicken quesadilla lunch special, as it was their special of the day and came with a free drink. I also ordered some queso dip. The chips were pretty good, through the salsa needs improvement. I was glad I had ordered the queso. Which was tasty but a little too thin at first. This got better as it cooled a bit and stuck to the chips better.
My quesadilla was just OK. It didn’t have cheese in it, and wasn’t griddled. I was under the impression both of those things were required in a quesadilla. It did however have plenty of chicken, and I just poured some of my queso into it to give me cheese. Again, the queso saved the day. What I’m saying is, don’t be caught off guard, order queso with your meal.
At the end there was some confusion about how to pay. There was no one manning the cash register, but my check sat uncollected for some time. I eventually went up and stood there, and someone came to get me settled up.
Overall, I wouldn’t make a special trip to this place, but it was fine if you’re in the area and want a cheap mexican fix. Just don’t be caught naked and queso-​less.

I’ll start this review with this thought; we visited this restaurant on Black Friday for dinner so the wait staff may have been worn out; so this may not have been a typical night. It started off simple enough, we were seated immediately and the waiter was over with in about one minute with chips and to take our drink orders. He was back very quickly with the drinks and he began to take our orders; this is where the evening started to go off course.
Once he got around to my wife and I, we stated that we would also like a bowl of shredded cheese on the side with our fajitas. There was a translation issue, but I thought we got through it and off he went. He was back about 10 minutes latter with my sons corn dog and fries. Another 10 minutes and my mother’s taco salad showed up, followed by my daughters fajitas 5 minutes later and my wife’s fajitas yet another five minutes after that. So over the course of 20 minutes the food was delivered. Not all at once, which I consider normal, but spaced out just enough that it would be cold by the time the next persons food arrived. They also brought zero tortillas with the fajitas, so we asked for some and finally got them. My food was missing in action though. After another five minutes, with still no food in sight and compounded by the fact that our waiter was no where to be found, I approached the manager about the entire situation. He was very understanding and checked the ticket to discover my meal had never been entered. He took care of it and I had my food about 4 minutes later. When the bill came he once again apologized profusely and said that he had comped the entire meal. The manager single handedly turned this disaster around and managed to save most of the evening. The food was great; the service not so much!

Very good food, good and fast service. I’ve enjoyed every meal I’ve had here, enjoy! A go to or a first pick, it won’t be a mistake!

Delicious food, as well as amazing service! I’ve never been let down coming here. They’re always prompt and courteous. One of my favorites!

Several friends and I went to La Hacienda on a Saturday evening for dinner. While we expected to wait since the restaurant was full, our food took at least 30 minutes to come out. The waitress did not come back to ask how the food was, and she only refilled our drinks once. One of the girls in our group got the wrong thing once the food came out, but we could never find a waitress in order for her to correct it, nor did we have the time for them to make it again. The food was hot and tasted pretty good once it got there, and the chips and salsa were ok. Overall for what we paid, the portion sizes were good. As a whole, the experience was alright, but I have definitely seen better customer service.

I don’t think I’ll be giving too many 5 stars out, but I have to give it to La Hacienda. I have been eating here for years with my wife and her family. The staff is friendly, and pretty much knows what we are going to order before we do.
I always get the same thing, so I guess my review will be a bit narrow in scope. I get the shredded chicken nachos with grilled mushrooms. They are always cooked well and the amount of food they give you is an outstanding value for the cost. Oh by the way, the beer there is quite cheap as well. A large 32 oz mug will only set you back $ 3 and some change.
We have sampled some of the other Mexican restaurants in the area, but none really compare. La Hacienda is usually busy, sometimes slammed, and for good reason. We will continue to frequent La Hacienda.

La Hacienda is better known as «LaHa» around High Point and Archdale. I’ve been eating at this place since I was a kid. It’s time to review my favorite Mexican restaurant ever.
This is the only restaurant I can say that every waiter knows what I and my regular group order… both drinks and food. This place is at minimum a weekly hangout for my family… and for very good reason.
The food is very good and also competitively priced. They give you a HUGE portion of food for your money. A tip I could give would be that you can order «lunch» size portions… pretty much half size portions at dinnertime, and they only charge you an extra $ 1 of the lunch price instead of the dinner price of the dish. I always get the lunch size, and it’s always more than enough food.
I religiously get the lunch portion fried beef chimichanga. It comes with beans, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. The chimichanga itself is covered in queso. LaHa absolutely has the best sweet tea in High Point. My husband loves their nachos. His favorite are the shredded chicken nachos and he gets mushrooms added to them. Their huge draft beers are incredibly priced. My favorite drink is a strawberry margarita. The chips and salsa are very good. The chips are also hot and the salsa usually has a little bit of a zing to it.
The service is outstanding. They are so quick and efficient.

I am the girl that goes to every Mexican place and orders the same thing. .. some kind of fajita. Its something you can never go wrong with. But this time, I decided to branch out. We were driving from Raleigh to Charlotte and stopped off here for dinner on our way back. What a great decision.
The service was good and the food was great.
Chips and salsa were standard and very good. My meal was awesome. Unfortunately I cant remember what it was called. I think it was either the Shrimp — A La Diabla or the Shrimp — Ala Mojo De Ajo. It was shrimp with this cheese sauce that while rich wasn’t over powering. It was not to thick. Mixed with the beans and cheese it had the perfect balance.
I am so glad I decided to branch out and try something new.

This place has a nice and friendly atmosphere to it. There is a slight Mexican feel to the place. It was pretty clean as far as i could tell. Theys serve free chips and salsa as an appetizer as you wait for your food. The chips aren’t the best and the salsa is a little runny, but it’s free, so I’m not going to hold it against them. The service was okay, but not exceptional. The food arrived fast, and the servers do their job (although our server accidently spilt food on a person in our group). The food was pretty good. It was well cooked and seasoned and the prices aren’t too steep. Over all, this resturant is okay.

Best Mexican joint in the Triad IMO. I’ve been going to La Hacienda for probably as long as they’ve been open. I would say since the mid 90’s I’ve been frequenting the place. I have never received bad service here, and the food is really great! Even when busy, they are VERY fast, every time.
I’ve tried a multitude of dishes here, and there haven’t been any I haven’t liked. Lately I’ve been partial to their grilled steak or chicken quesadillas, or a dish they have called Steak Vallarta, which is essentially a ribeye smothered in queso with grilled shrimp on top. Compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area, the steak and chicken they use seems much higher quality. Always tender and fresh tasting. The salsa is fantastic! Chips are kinda «meh».. . I think they could do better. But they are consistent. They’ve had the same chips since day one.
My family loves the place too. Good deals on kid’s plates.
Until we get an On The Border locally, I’ll be hitting La Hacienda at least once every couple weeks to get my Mexican fix.

I was in a rush the other night when I remembered to check-​in on Unilocal,and I was SHOCKED to see that there was only one rating and that that one was single star! I wasn’t planning on writing a review, but after reading what that single review said I just had to.
Let me begin by telling you a little bit about me. My mother was born and raised in Laredo Texas, which is on the border with Mexico. When it was time to learn to cook she was taught by the family’s Mexican housekeeper. In Laredo in the 1940’s and 50’s it was commonplace for most folks to have day laborers from Mexico as workers around the house, and even my grandparents with their merger income could afford to have «Bernabe» (my best guess at the spelling of her name) come to their house a couple days a week. My grandmother didn’t cook, so Bernabe would cook and stock the fridge and freezer.
I mention this because even though I am not Mexican, to me, Mexican food is home cooking.
Fast forward to our move to NC in 1999 and my first Mexican meal was at La Hacienda in High Point. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The service was the fastest I’ve ever seen outside of Mexico, and the teamwork of their staff is amazing, but the food was just OK.
When my waiter came by after my meal to ask me how I enjoyed it, I just had to tell him that it wasn’t what I hoped for, and he said «I’ll be right back», and returned with a menu. He pointed to the daily lunch specials and dinners and said in broken English «These, with numbers… They are like Taco Bell!». I was surprised that he was admitting what I had just discovered on my own. He went on to add «And these… without numbers… very good!»
What he was pointing out was that the items like the «Special #4» was not made fresh, but was instead plated assembly line style like at Taco Bell. What he directed me to was something they call the Quesadilla Fajita.
Because they were located so close to my work I decided to give this new-​found knowledge a try, so back I went and after downing half a basket of delicious chips and watery but tasty salsa, I ordered a steak quesadilla fajita.
When it arrived a the table I was a bit surprised, because all the quesadilla’s that I’d ever had were thin, well, let’s just call them Mexican grilled cheese sandwiches. This one was so packed with stuff that they knew I wouldn’t be able to pick it up, so they ladle cheese sauce over it and cover that with thinly sliced iceberg lettuce and a just right portion of sour cream, guacamole andPico de gallo. After eating it with a fork and knife I sat back and thought «THIS should be their featured menu item!».
The one item that they make in a very non-​traditional way, but that we still enjoy is the chili relleno. At La Ha it’s more of a cheese dip than a stuffed chili, but eaten as such with corn chips, it’s a tasty snack.
It’s been 13 years since my first visit and thought other, more traditional Mexican places have lured me away more often than not, if I’m in the mood for mexican food that’s on my table within three minutes of ordering; consistent in quality and a SPOTLESS dining room; I will not hesitate to visit «La Ha»!
At one time or another my family has dined in all of their locations, (2 in High Point, one in Greensboro and one in Ashboro) and though they each have their own personality, the food is always the same.

Not clean at all. Much better at other places. Don’t know how they pass inspection.
